Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official Intel/Altera documentation, as minor character variations define specific electrical or environmental ratings. Confirm current availability status through authorized distributors, noting that this series may be subject to end-of-life restrictions or limited stock conditions. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity levels prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of high logic density and moderate I/O count within the Stratix V GX family. Compare against the 5SGXEA7H variant if higher I/O counts are necessary, or consider the 5SGXEA3 series for lower resource requirements. Validate that the 1152-pin FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX devices but differs in specific resource allocations such as LAB count and transceiver numbers. It represents a generation of FPGAs optimized for cost-effective high-performance computing before subsequent generations were released.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific part number. Consider evaluating newer Intel Agilex or Arria 10 families for modern alternatives, though these require significant redesign. Cross-reference with similar Stratix V parts like 5SGXEA7K1F35C2LN only if I/O counts align, but verify functional equivalence carefully.
